COLUMBIA, SC – This week, as former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel visits several rural South Carolina counties to try seeming relatable in the real world, Americans for Prosperity-South Carolina (AFP-SC) State Director Matt Humm released the following statement:
“Rahm Emanuel failed the city of Chicago, and he’d fail Americans as president. Under his so-called leadership, Chicagoans saw historic property tax hikes, and pension debt ballooned despite tax hikes. South Carolinians don’t want higher taxes – in fact, our state legislature just passed historic income tax reform. Rahm Emanuel left a legacy of long-term economic instability in Chicago, and we cannot afford for that to be his legacy here in South Carolina and nationwide.”
